Constant Hunger

Verse 1
All these little rejections build up in your soul
Being turned away crushes your self-esteem
All these little let-downs surround you ever so slowly
To the point where they're about to consume you
Disappointment is such a drag
All these little distortions ingratiate themselves into your mind
Your belief system is based on lies and propaganda
All these little unpleasantries make for ruined situations
It's challenging to generate momentum and to keep it progressing

Verse 2
All these little recollections buried deep within your psyche
Flashes of the past burst through like a manufactured hurricane
All these little anomalies becoming a nuisance
Plans are adjusted and cancellations are put into effect

Verse 3
All these little machinations developing sight unseen
Theories abound when they're finally revealed
All these little medications destroying what's left of your health
Natural functions are being replaced through artificial means

Bridge
Trinkets no longer appease you
Gadgets don't appeal to you
Substance is intoxicatingly desirable

Chorus
You're wanting more out of life
But are left unsatisfied
You give more than you receive and feel under-appreciated
Attempting to explain yourself causes misunderstanding
This is how constant hunger dwells in you

The Man That Got Away

Verse 1
You call yourself a man but you're logically challenged
You get emotional by flying off the handle
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is who you are organically
You can't change but you can modify
You call yourself a man but you cause ears to burn
Verbal interactions mostly add fuel to the fire
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
You're naturally inclined to act this way
Your DNA has changed

Verse 2
You call yourself a man but you're fantastically out of mind
Understatedness is something you're unfamiliar with
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is how you behave but you don't have to act this way
You call yourself a man but you're internally oblivious
Society knows more about you than you know of yourself
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is why you'll be conditioned without formidable opposition

Verse 3
I am a man because I have fortitude
Fearlessness is what I've incorporated
Words are measured and actions are deliberate
This is how I've been since becoming reborn

Bridge
Learning is nothing more than a change in behaviour
Being in accordance with high standards builds character
A dignified way of life is the best defence against strife
The pursuit of excellence will propel you to greater heights

Chorus 1
I once was tread upon
I was taken advantage of
I restored myself by reclaiming my power

Chorus 2
I once was abused
I was mistreated and disrespected
I transformed myself by being the man that got away

A Woman

Verse 1
I am a woman as a woman I've been told
Dieting is marketed to me in this mold
Born with a clock, I yearn for the seed
Years I have waited with remarkable need

Verse 2
I am a woman who has grown from a daughter
Been criticized by a jealous mother
Big breasts and tight buttocks got me into trouble
Boys and men alike ignored her and focused on me instead

Verse 3
I am a woman who is not a victim
Begging for scraps is something I'll never do
I am a woman who is a c-u-n-t - there, I said it
I don't get hysterical when I'm referred to as such

Bridge
I don't fare well with scorn and bitterness
I don't do well with a life of unwanted sacrifice
This won't work well if you're in constant judgement of me
I am a woman who is weaker than feminist chants

Chorus 1
I have been adored
I have been protected
I'm using my status for monetary gain

Chorus 2
I have been shamed
I have repented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness
I have been blamed
I have relented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness

Chorus 3
I have been glorified
I have been worshipped
I'm working my way toward my original template
I have been raped
I have been attacked
I'm working my way toward endless retribution

F-a-g-g-o-t-s

Verse 1
I am a f-a-g-g-o-t as a f-a-g-g-o-t I've been told
Salacious details of lovers have yet to be sold
Lipstick and high heeled shows are my alter ego
If you don't like what you see, you can turn away

Verse 2
I am a f-a-g-g-o-t only when it suits me well
I conceal my true nature handily as far as I can tell
Tailored made suits and ties are my alter ego
If you don't know what I am
You can't easily turn away

Verse 3
I am a f-a-g-g-o-t and declaring so is bold
Things that I want won't be placed on hold
I live and I try to learn just like all of you
And I refuse to accept anything less than I deserve

Bridge
Butch or fem, passive or dominant
I can be whomever you want me to be
I'm viewed as the odour-causing trash
Most people would like to throw out
I'm not an activist and I don't aspire to be one
I'm a man who has always enjoyed the company of men

Chorus 1
I am a dance-floor hound
I am a whiteliner
As I travel the world, I lose myself in it

Chorus 2
I've seen brutality
I've seen the look of disgust
As I travel the world, I become increasingly fearful
I've heard tales of ridicule
I've heard longing for acceptance
As I travel the world, I'm partially grateful

Chorus 3
I have been shamed
I have relented
As I travel the world, I discover who I am
I have been broken
I have been aimless
As I become older, I liberate myself

All of Who You Are

Verse 1
12:38am, there you were again
What a beautiful surprise on a quiet night
Each time you're in my view
I know more about you
I'm de-constructing the mystery that is you
You're casual and relaxed
But not adventurous as before
The mood of the night was somber and it grew dimmer
So you only stayed for awhile
I went searching for you
You had already gone

Verse 2
Good times are few and far between
When they occur, I make the most of them
I'm in the middle of living and being alive
Only you can take me to the edge of possibility
Where dreams become experiences
And experiences become me
Freedom comes and goes
Just like the way you do
I'm a captive to the circumstances of my life
The friction it causes has rendered me reserved
So if you come calling for me
I may not respond quickly

Verse 3
See me as I'm seeing you
Help yourself by helping me
Let me absorb your frequencies
Add layers to me
Teach me about your vibes
What you do and how you do it
Is something I'd like to uncover
Never before have I realized the brokenness in me
Until now
Being whole is my newfound goal
And I'd like to achieve it with you by my side

Chorus
Hey dude, I want you to look at me
The way that I envision you
You've electrified my senses before
Do it once more and reach down to my core
I'm waiting right here for you
Give me something new to feel and to think of
All of who you are is what I'd like to know
Even how you get low
If you're interested say so

Journey To Bliss

Verse 1
If you see something you like
And if it's in your presence
It may not be there for long
Just go for it
This is the place to be anybody
No judgements, no ridicule, no shame
Just go for it
If you want to touch someone
It should be done respectfully
Ask for permission
Then just go for it
Don't be surprised to see a woman
With a finger or two up her skirt
The beat of the music will transfix
The young and the wild
Their bodies will act accordingly

Verse 2
Leave the sad things behind, become experimental
Try out different situations for yourself
Find the temperature that suits your body well
And when you do so, you;ll speak your own language
Colour isn't something that's just meant to be seen
There should be large amounts of it flowing through you
The weather outside won't have an impact on the activities
Of the young and the wild
They'll turn into dance animals and imperfect freaks
Their senses will be on overdrive

Bridge
Sweet sensations could surround you
Only if you ignore the noise in your mind
You can go far if you take a journey to bliss
And when you do, there will be no looking back

Chorus
Lights out, mood up
Release the fun in you
Experience the vibrations moving through your body
Suppress your worries for the duration of the night
Excitement is yours to explore
Be adventurous
Take a journey to bliss

Take Me To The Disco

Verse 1
Loosen up naturally
Like me that way
Glad about it
Sweet and simple
Everyone deserves music
Music for your neighbourhood
Something old, something new
Lights and shadows
N-u-d-e dimensions
Moving cities
East to west and back again
Friends and lovers
Love and dancing
So good together
Dreams of passion

Verse 2
Shockwave of kisses
Wrapped in rainbows
How sweet the sound
Simply delicious
Bodies that matter
Shake it all about
Foggy highway
The moon and Antarctica

Bridge
Only the good parts
Moment to moment
On wings of a dove
Beyond a dream
It's getting better
Across a crowded room
Finally alone with you

Chorus
Take me to the disco
The night is calling for me
I'm tired of being stuck in the suburbs
All things bright and beautiful appeal to me
I want to travel the world
Through dance and sensation
Take me to the disco

Orange Juice

Verse 1
Orange juice sustains me without fail
Wholesome in a variety of ways
I was unfamiliar with the taste of it
So I was hesitant to give it a try
Once I saw how others responded to it
I sensed that I was missing out on something fulfilling
One day I searched for a glass
And was surprised by the reaction I experienced
For the better, I was changing

Verse 2
Existing is going through the motions of life
When you're under and alone, you don't give it much though
Being alive is seeking events to partake and revel in
When you do so, your true self is revealed
Every part of you flourishes
A stream of satisfaction will float through you
You'll be rich beyond measure
It will seem like a dream
But, oh yes, it's real

Verse 3
I'm grateful to be healed by its grace
And now I'm convinced that everyone deserves orange juice
However small or big the amount may be
Every drop is precious
None of it should ever go to waste
I'll teach another what I've been taught
Creating special experiences is inspiring and everlasting

Chorus
Contently full
Great and rewarding supply
Pure and simple, orange juice is good for me

The Richest Man In Babylon

Verse 1
Selling tales of sin
Profits are generating in your sleep
Wicked thoughts are woven into timeless chants
Generations continue to dance
Messages of the past being told in soft tones
If you listen carefully
Ideas are being formed and settled in places
Which are shielded from view

Verse 2
Luxurious platforms are sold to the highest bidder
Beggars become more desperate
Influence is the name of the game
Many have lost and many are losing
Replications of what used to be
Pale in comparison to the originals
Echoes of the past
Linger around the heartbeats of men

Verse 3
Being the richest man in Babylon
Affords you many privileges
Tokens are for the powerless
You create the standard to which we abide
To the victor goes the spoils
You're coated in manufactured glory
The crown you've placed upon your head
Will eventually be your undoing
All that you own is worthless

Chorus
You're only a soul in a vessel
Known by only one
As you accumulate wealth
You forget about the importance of your deeds

Close The Door

Verse 1
I don't believe in dinosaurs, dragons, or aliens
Fairy tales are glorified lies
Even though there are spooks everywhere
Danger lurks around
If you trade your freedom for safety
Then you're foolish
You've given away your power to decide
Rendered, tragically, subservient onto others
You'd be a typical beggar among attainable riches
A cautionary tale for the impressionable

Verse 2
The fakery of my foundation permeates through my senses
Like a virus absorbed into the body
I'm hungry for the reasons why I breathe, build and destroy
So I check the ground to walk over scattered shackles
I, fortunately, understand the power to decide
Rendered aware of my ability for self-determination
A sleepwalker, what I used to be
Until I awoke from my slumber and defeated pseudo-realities

Verse 3
You as one, you as deceptively whole
Observing me, judging me
I as one, I as partially broken
Incomplete but with a soul
However damaged it may seem
What I use is, ultimately, what I own
Especially the power I have to decide
Rendered, rightfully, accountable for my thoughts and words
This is a true representation of who I am as an individual
It is not, however, an endorsement to abandon
Your state of unrealized wealth

Chorus 1
Although a slave from conception, it is not my birthright
Although governed by the laws of water, my true identity holds
I am abused and tested upon
But my original record is unamendable
I close the door to the world
And settle within and around myself

Chorus 2
Close the door
Don't let whispers and looks of harmful intent
To settle within yourself
